Vandersteen 2Wq crossover
OK, I'm not totally clear on this. So the dip switches, as they adjust for amp input impedance they also move the crossover point up and down? Sounds like you are saying I should just keep trying lower and lower impedance settings, which will effe... 
Vandersteen 2Wq crossover
Thanks, Bondmanp. I ended up finding a pair of M5-HPs. Now my problem is the crossover points don't match (sub at 80, M5-HP at 100hz) and there is a huge hole in the midbass. The M5-HPs are adjustable for amp input impedance, but can the crossover... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Fun thread. I have to mention Snell Type A or AII. Owned them once, stupidly sold them, and after many other speakers came and went (B&W, ProAC, Spendor) I finally went back. I am a midrange freak and like a full lower mid without the suckout ... 
Vandersteen 2Wq crossover
Hi. This thread is interesting because I just bought a 2wq without any WX-2 or X-2. I have been wondering what people listen for when deciding the optimum impedance for the crossover... does the impedance value only change the crossover point, or ... 
Hi, need help with Snell Type a iii
Hi! I was hoping to ask Fishboat about his experience with AII's vs AIII's. I used to own AII's and LOVED them. Sold them foolishly to please my wife. Now I have original A's but am thinking about some AIII's. Would you mind contrasting the AII's ... 
snell a II
This is an old thread, but wondering if anyone knows if there is much sonic difference between the AII and the original A. I owned the AII for years and loved them. Stupidly sold them. Just decided to buy a pair of original A's and really like the...

Snell Type A Serial ' 1485, 1486
I know this is an old thread, but I wondered if you ever arrived at a clear delineator between A and AII. I'm thinking of buying a pair from someone. They have separately fused woofer, mid, tweeter. I used to own AII's (miss them dearly!) and they... 
The Hub: Refrigerators that can really sing
What a great post to read. I owned Type A-II's and they remain the most musically involving speaker I have ever heard. I would listen to record after record, disk after disk, and get goosebumps. Very few speakers give me goosebump realism. Peter S... 
Salon One Audio
Nice to hear about Bruce and Salon 1 again. One of my favorite dealers. Bruce was so awesome. Bought my ProAc Response 2's from him long ago...Stuart
